At U14, U15, U16 and U17 the thorns Academy is looking pretty bad. Take out Burlingame and thorns are scraping bottom. I suppose every league needs to have someone at the bottom.

Has to be hard on the psyche to get hammered over and over. Good life lesson to learn how to lose. At least I hope.

Oregon ECNL teams were feeding at the bottom of the ECNL pool for the past three years and it didn�t stop them. Now that the top players all moved to DA, Oregon is pounding everyone in ECNL. Pays to stick it out if your a second tier player.

The best teams and players are in ECNL. Not even close.

Nationwide, best players are in DA. In Oregon, best players are spread out across many teams.

California DA = Burlingame and PSV Union. Combines -734 goal differential.

That�s surprising. These Californian DA teams are really the best players in CA? CA used to be a lot better than Oregon before DA.

That's a lot of goals.

Burlingame is moving teams into ECNL league for winter 2019 for competition more at their level.

Those are some really quality DA programs. Maybe they will bring them under the thorns patch?

Look, just because they are giving up 8-13 goals per game means nothing. They are still trying to get things right. Who are you to judge? How about you keep it to yourself?

Since it�s likely that all of us are subsidizing the Thorns dumpster fire, we ALL have a right to judge
